In the way of ales, they had some of the usual suspects on – Pride, Young's Bitter, Doom Bar – but the guest ale was the excellent Jenning's Cumberland Ale, and very good it tasted too. This is a long thin pub leading down to the river at Wapping Old Stairs. It has a long history – Judge Jeffries etc – and it claims to be the oldest pub on the river. But I believe that the Prospect of Whitby just down the road also makes that claim. It's an improvable claim I suspect, like so many such claims involving London pubs.
Nevertheless, this is a real pub although it inevitably gets a number of tourists in. No problem with that, as it seems to have retained its essential character. It's comfortably furnished with normal tables and chairs; no one-armed bandits; and no overly loud music. There is also an attractive large mirror featuring (an etched I believe) representation of Ramsgate Harbour. I quite like this pub; I've been several times before, and no doubt will visit again.

This is a Gem.Long narrow bar which extends to the Thames next to old Wapping steps. Outside drinking area on two levels overlooking the river ideal for whiling away the long summer days. On the walls are photographs of old Wapping. Sunday roasts and quiz nights. beers on tap on our visit were Adnams and Pride. 10 minutes from Wapping Station
